Chapter 43
Su Ji felt a chill coming from the back of his neck, recalling the cold and familiar voice just now, and the mahogany sword on his neck, he already knew that it was Mu Lingyu who came.

He turned his head slowly, raised his little finger imitating Eunuch Bai, and said in a strange tone:

"Hey! Who did the Sa family think it was, it turned out to be the wife of the owner of Xuanling Pavilion. What brought you here?"

Mu Lingyu frowned slightly, showing a disgusted expression, and asked:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Could it be that you failed to become a teacher and were purged by the Xuanhu Sect instead?"

Su Ji froze for a moment, feeling as if she knew that she was not Eunuch Bai, and suddenly remembered that she also had a pure yin body, Eunuch Bai was not recruited because of his impotent constitution, and she must be the same.

Thinking back on his untimely actions just now, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he forced a wry smile, and slowly used two fingers to pinch away the mahogany sword around his neck.

"You are a good girl, can you stop holding a broken piece of wood to greet people?"

Mu Lingyu didn't respond, but glanced at his waist, and asked:
"Where's your bronze bell?"

As soon as the bronze bell was mentioned, Su Ji suddenly became vigilant, lest she would ask about the master's whereabouts again.

"What do you ask it to do?"

"It's my master's relic, I'm afraid you'll lose it!"

"Oh, how could it be?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, took out the brocade bag from his arms, and was about to show Hongjun Ling to her, when suddenly his eyes blurred!
At this time, Hu Si's consciousness gradually occupied his mind and dominated his body, preventing him from taking Hong Junling out of the bag.

"It's inside!" Hu Si replied using Su Ji's body, "I was afraid it would get dirty, so I put it in a bag."

"That's good, I didn't expect you to be quite caring."

Just as Mu Lingyu put her heart down, she suddenly remembered the agreement she had made with Hua Rulang, so she asked:

"When you left, your little apprentice has been following me. I heard that he is a poor man without father and mother. I remember the day you were hung up by me. He said that you killed his parents. Is this true? "

Hu Si hesitated for a moment, although she didn't know who the "little apprentice" the woman in front of her was talking about, but she could tell that she cared about this person very much. Instead of waiting for Su Ji to die of old age, it is better to borrow a knife to kill people and cut off the blood contract as soon as possible!
"It's true!" Hu Si replied decisively.

Mu Lingyu suddenly opened her eyes slightly, and said angrily:
"Why did you make such a murderous move?"

"Why?" Hu Si sneered, "How can there be so many reasons? No matter what human beings do, they will only do two things, one is fame and the other is profit. I can smell a fishy smell from your sword , your hands must have been stained with blood."

"You can only guess randomly! I have never killed anyone with this sword, and besides, only the same clan can smell the smell of demon blood, how would you know?"

Before she finished speaking, Mu Lingyu sensed that something was wrong, showing a trace of suspicion on her face, a faint chill appeared in her eyes, and her sharp gaze seemed to be piercing.

Hu Si realized that she had slipped her tongue and hid her breath in time, and then lifted the nightmare technique that enveloped Shenhou's mansion.

At this time, Su Ji's consciousness began to gradually wake up.He shook his head, only feeling dizzy, as if he had just taken a nap.

Mu Lingyu didn't see anything abnormal in him, so he could only get back to the topic:
"The person you want to save has already been saved, it's time to help me kill someone!"

Su Ji rubbed his sleepy eyes and said:

"As soon as we met, let me help you kill. I really don't know who you have such a big hatred with?"

"Jiang Ying! He is the murderer who slaughtered my Mu family, and today is the best time for me to take revenge. The skills Jiang Ying practiced will be greatly reduced on the day of the Double Ninth Festival. Later, you and I will be crowned princes." .You want to toast during the banquet, hold him back, I see you fall off the bronze wine bar, I will do it!"

"Why do you believe that Jiang Ying is the enemy who wiped out your whole family?"

"My father, Mu He, was the witch doctor of Quan Rong. Jiang Ying has always regarded Quan Rong as an enemy. After several investigations, I learned that he once looked for the whereabouts of my father..."

Mu Lingyu stopped in the middle of her words.

Su Ji listened attentively, and a drunken singing came from the woods in the distance:
"I'm a mortal, fighting wine and laughing at Hongjun. Qingjin falls into the dust, and I step on the clouds..."

The singing was getting closer and closer, the two turned their heads to look, and saw the yellow-browed Taoist walking staggeringly from a distance, with a golden beard and hair, and a flushed wine face, reminiscent of the red buttocks of the golden monkey .

"Ouch!"

Taoist Huangmei found the two people in the grass, ran over hurriedly, and laughed loudly:
"You young couple were hiding here, but I finally found them!"

Taoist Huangmei's voice was as rough as an old scalper's, and the smell of alcohol in his mouth almost suffocated the two people in front of him.

Su Ji murmured to Mu Lingyu: "This old man must not be able to drink very much. When I drank the most, I was not as virtuous as him."

Mu Lingyu covered her nose and said in a low voice: "Drunkards are a virtue when they're drunk, you just can't see it yourself."

The yellow-browed Taoist stared at the two whispering with his blood-red eyes, and said:
"What are you muttering about, Master and Madam? Twenty-four elders of Jiejiao have come, and we are waiting for you, Master! Come, come! Please come inside! Go drink with the poor!"

As he spoke, he put his arms around Su Ji's neck and walked straight to the Chongyang Banquet Hall.

The Double Ninth Banquet is held in a huge palace called "Chongjiu Palace".The name of this hall reminded Su Ji of an allusion.

In the past, when King Wen of Zhou deduced the eight trigrams of the day after tomorrow, he defined "six" as a negative number and "nine" as a positive number.

Later, the custom of praying for longevity on Chongyang Day gradually came into being. At this time, princes from all over the world would hold a large banquet and drink chrysanthemum wine to ward off disasters and pray for blessings.

Chongjiu Palace is only a few dozen steps away from Anling Hall.As soon as Su Ji arrived at the place, he left Huangmei Laodao and Mu Lingyu on the grounds of showing respect, and wandered around the palace alone.

He originally thought that the Double Ninth Banquet would be very depressing, but when he came in, he found that it was completely opposite to what he had imagined. On the one hand, it was full of guests and friends, and it was very lively, on the other hand, it was full of laughter and joy.

Although the palace is crowded with people, in Su Ji's view, there are only three kinds of people:
One is men, they chat happily, shouting one after another; the other is women, they sometimes whisper, sometimes cover their mouths and laugh endlessly, as if they are talking about some short secrets of parents; Playing and laughing, chasing and running around the table, knocking over the adults' wine, but not even saying an apology.

Looking at the child who was not polite, Su Ji couldn't help but think of himself who had no parental discipline in the past, and suddenly frowned, thinking that it would be fine for these veterans to drag their families with them, but they didn't even discipline their own children. What a waste of being a parent!

"Oh!"

Su Ji was annoyed when suddenly a child bumped her into her arms!

It must be the young master who was spoiled by the old man's family. He immediately decided to drag this child in front of his parents and beat them in the face!
However, when he looked up angrily, he blushed instantly, and couldn't help but slapped himself lightly.

"Master? You are here too!"

Hua Rulang looked at him and said ecstatically.
